Women in Blue want to get back on their feet after a bad start – Firstpost

India vs Pakistan, Women’s T20 World Cup LIVE: Team India will hope to bounce back from Friday’s subpar performance against New Zealand when they face arch-rivals Pakistan in their second Women’s T20 World Cup match in Dubai on Sunday.

India and Pakistan have had different starts to their election campaigns so far. While the Women in Blue suffered a resounding 58-run defeat against the White Ferns on Friday, slipping from 161 to 102 after a challenging win, Pakistan had started their campaign with a confidence-boosting win against Sri Lanka in Sharjah on Thursday.

After the unforgettable start, each of the remaining three group games will be a must-win game for the Indian team. And their dominant 12-3 record against Pakistan in the Women’s Twenty20 Internationals should give the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side confidence ahead of Sunday afternoon’s clash.

Squads:

Pakistan: Muneeba Ali(f), Gull Feroza, Sidra Amin, Omaima Sohail, Nida Dar, Tuba Hassan, Fatima Sana(c), Aliya Riaz, Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal, Iram Javed, Syeda Aroob Shah, Sadaf Shamas, Tasmia Rubab

India: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh(f), Deepti Sharma, Arundhati Reddy, Pooja Vastrakar, Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana, Renuka Thakur Singh, Yastika Bhatia, S Sajana, Dayalan Hemalatha, Radha Yadav
